Rhino looks strange for sure, but I'm sure with CGI he will look good.
Some sort of big mechanical suit makes sense if you aren't very tough or muscular in the first place and it looks cooler than wearing a real Rhino suit with your face sticking out.

Though to be quite honest, I actually prefer the Amazing Spider-Man video game's storyline in which Rhino and Scorpion were both human/animal hybrids created by OsCorp scientists following in Connors footsteps.

EDIT -- Surely they could have put some pants on Rhino, though.
I mean seriously. No way he could have walked around stark naked, as a rhinoceros penis is about five feet long.

This movie will end with the death of Gwen Stacy (presumably at the hands of Norman Osborne), hence having Mary Jane as a handy replacement. Frankly I'm not that keen on revisiting the character so soon after he was last on film, Spidey has enough villains to do many movies before GG has to even be considered again.

So wait, we have Electro, Rhino, and now possibly Green Goblin? Let's hope it's not a repeat of Spider-Man 3.

EDIT: Also, I forgot Chris Cooper had been cast as Norman. But considering how large a role Oscorp played in the first one, I can see him being the big bad, with the others maybe being more minor villains.

Yeah. I took that announcement as Sony basically admitting to Marvel they'll milk this franchise for all its worth. And if Andrew Garfield does get too old, they probably will try to use Miles. Or they'll start spinning off films like Venom, Scarlet Spider, Black Cat maybe even SpiderOck. Anything to keep the rights.

Spidey has so many villains that you could make movies for a long time.

But certain ones would need build-up, like say Venom. Problem in SM3 was they shoved Eddie Brock in and had him turn in the same movie, you really need to have him around as a character for several movies to create the character resentment and then make him the true threat he ought to be as Spider-Man's dark mirror.
Same with Green Goblin, it would be foolish to have him appear and go quickly given how important he is to Spider-Man's early history.
They might even try the Secret Wars stuff or go for bizarre characters like Madame Webb if they need movie material.

I don't mind spin-offs for characters like Black Cat if it's warranted (could do with more female heroes), though I'd like to see stuff with Morbius the Vampire if they decide to go there.
